IRISH GOVERNMENT.
The Chief Grievance of Those Irishmen
Who Desire Home Rule.

The Chief Grievance of Those Irishmen
Who Desire Home Rule.
One of the chief grievances of which
those Irishmen who desire home rule
complain is the way in which Ireland is
governed by English officials. All the
local affairs of Ireland, indeed, are I'M
der the direct or indirect control of
what is called 1.-The Government of Dub
lin Castle"
Dublin Castle has been for many cent
uries the residence of the chief ex-
ecutive ruler of Ireland, who has al
ways been appointed by the British
Crown, and has been the representa-
tive of the British King or Queen in that
country. The Lord Lieutenant, or Vice
roy, of Ireland, as the ruler is
called, has always enjoyed large,
almost despotic, powers. He is not re-
sponsible, in any way, to the Irish peo-
pie, over whose concerns he exercises
so large an authority. He is respon-
sible only to the British Cabinet, and,
through it, to the British Parliament.
If every Irishman in the island opposed
his policy, they could not call him to
account. So long as he was sustained
by the British Government, he could do
as he pleased. Usually the Lord-Lieu-
tenant has been a great English Peer.
When he has been, as the present hold
er of the Office is, an Irish nobleman, he
has yet been devoted to British, rather
than to Irish interests
Associated with the Lord-Lieutenant
is the "Chief Secretary for Ireland, :"
who is almost invariably an English
man, who sits as member of the Brit
ish House of Commons. and who goes in
and out of office with the British polite
al party to which he belongs. The
Lord-Lieutenant also holds his place
only so long as his party is in power.
These two chief officials, with their
headquarters at Dublin Castle, preside
over large body of minor officials, and
over the general local concerns of Ire
land. The Lord-Lieutenant has a
very wide range of appointing
power. Irdand's affairs are mainly
administered by number of boards,
the chief of which are the boards of
local government, public works, ma
tional and intermediate education,
lunacy, fisheries, charities, prisons and
loan funds. The members of all these
boards are chosen by the Lord-Lieu-

STORY OF A UNIFORM.
How Mr.. Ward Deceived the Pigtailed Of
ficials of China.

How MIR. Ward Deceived the Pigtailed Of
ficials of China.
The conversation here drifted to dip
lomatic etiquette, and asked Mr.. Ward
how he got over the dress-coat question
when he was our Minister to China. He
replied: "At the time | was in China
the ordinary dress of the American cit
izen would hardly have been fit one
in which to have appeared on State
occasion. The Chinese knew little about
the Americans at that time, and it was
perhaps more necessary to create a
good impression there than at other
places where our diplomatic relations
had long been established. For several
decades | have been the Captain of the
Chatham Artillery, little company in
a New Jersey village. was Captain of
it at this time, and I had Captains
uniform, a part of which was dress
coat with military lace on the sleeves,
and with brass buttons upon which
were the letters c. A.. meaning the
Chatham Artillery. On my way to China
stopped at Paris, and had the military
lace taken off and diplomatic lace put
on. This coat was buttoned up close at
the throat, and on the whole was not q
bad looking uniform. In China l wore
it upon all State occasions, and it was
generally admired. The Chinese often
asked me what the letters &C. A., stood
for. Ireplied that the suit was meant
as an honor to China, and that these
letters stood for China and America,
and in order to show how much our
country thought of China we had hon
ored her by putting the c. before the A.
This explanation was taken in good
faith, and the uniform was success. +"

WARNING BIRDS.

Their Difficulties Adjusted by Jays Who
Acted the Part of Peace-NIakers.
A resident of Memphis, Mo-, erected
on his lawn large bird-house, in
tended as the summer house of a flock
of martins. 1t was a three-story af-
fair. and three varieties of birds inhab-
tied it-martins, blue-birds and spar
rows. The numbers were about equal.
The mixture of breeds did not appear
to cause discomfort for long time.
Each bird nation gathered sticks and
straw and other material for nests,
and harmony prevailed for weeks.
One day, however, this gentleman's
family discovered that there was some
thing wrong with the inhabitants of
the airy house on the lawn. There
was unusual commotion, squalling,
pecl<ing and tluttering which denoted
trouble in the hitherto happy family.
A close watch brought the further dis
covery that the martins and blue-birds
had Joined forces and were making a
mighty effort to drive the sparrows off
the premises.
The sparrows battled pluckily for
their home, but were in the end
doomed to defeat and an ignominious
flight.
Opposite the lawn in neighbor' 8
yard stood several large oaks. A
small colony of blue-jays had pre-
empted homes here. The sparrows on
being forced from homes and nests
took refuge in the oaks. Their advent
was followed by bird chatter, and
chirp, and squall, participated in by
both sparrows and jays. The noise
attracted the family, and now two
households were watching with inter
est the actions of the winged tribes.
Shortly the sparrows, seemingly
escorted by number of the jays, re-
turned to the lawn and house. This
was followed by convention of bird
music, in which the jays took the
prominent part By and by the bed
lam of voices ceased, and the jays did
the talking or chirping. They soon
returned to the oaks, leaving quiet and
peace on the lawn. The three bird
colonies worked all summer without
further jar or disagreement. Did the
jays act the part of peacemakersP-

tenant, and work under his supervision
They manage all the affairs relating to
the poor, public health, cattle diseases,
the prisons and the schools, and other
purposes of local governing bodies.
There are local elective boards in the
Irish towns, but these are elected by
restricted suffrage, and their acts may
be reversed and rejected by the central
boards at Dublin.
The Lord-Lieutenant also appoints
the Lord-Lieutenants of the Irish coun-
ties, and these, in their turn, select the
unpaid magistrates who dispense justice
in the local courts. 1t is said that, al
though Ireland is Catholic by more than
four to one, three-quarters of the local
magistrates appointed are Professionals
The Lord-Lieutenant selects the poor
law guardians, and the sheritls of the
counties; and the sheriffs in their turn,
appoint the grand juries, which, in Ire
land, possess large powers of local con-
troll.
The "stipendiary" magistrates, who
are paid for their services, and who hold
higher courts, are also selected by the
central power at Dublin Castle. The POI
lice, who have in charge the maintenance
of public order in Ireland, are under the
command of an Inspector-General at
Dublin, who is the appointee of the
Lord-Lieutenant; and the police, also,
are really under his control. The Irish
police are military force, armed with
rifles and swords, and drilled in military
fashion.
Thus it is seen that the local affairs,
the administration of justice, and the
preservation of order in Ireland, are
virtually in the hands of the Lord-Lieu-
tenant, who is not in the least RESPONSE
BILE to the country wherein he exercises
his great powers, but only to the British
Government.

man, who has recently opposed Mr..

TEN of British rule in Ireland lis as

COSTLY RAILROADING.
Effect of the Hot Mexican Climate Upon
Railroad Ties and Cars.

Railroad Ties and Cars.
The expenses of railroading in the
hot climate of Mexico are great.
Wooden ties have but short life,
cracking in the dry season and rotting
during the rainy months; bridge tim
bers and piles also wear out rapidly.
Freight cars must be painted frequent
ly to prevent drying and cracking, and
even the substantial Pullman cars
shrivel under this exposure. Fuel con-
stitutes a large item oil outlay. Mes
quite roots are burned on the Central
road; pine cut along its route is used
by the Inter-Oceanic, and the Vera Cru
Company feeds its engines coal blocks
brought from Wales as ballast. Tho
decay of ties will in time necessitate a
serious outlay on the Central road. for
wooden sleepers cost here one dollar
each. 1t is evident that iron ties are a
necessity in Mexico, and they are just
coming into use The climate tends to
preserve the iron rails and bridges, pro-
vided the latter escape the torrents of the
rainy season. Engineers command
better wages here than they do in the
United States, for only that inducement
brings them here. The general staff Of
the roads are also well paid, but the see
ton hands, who are poems, work for
small wages. The natural and proper
tendency on all the roads is to employ
Mexicans when the right men can be
obtained. This policy helps to protect
the property of outside corpora
tions doing business here.-Sprinqfeld

A NEW MuNcHAusEN.

How He Succeeded In Getting Rid of An
Inquisitive Old Woman.
When the st. Louis express from
Pittsburgh arrived at Wheeling juno
ton the other day, an old woman with
nine assorted bundles and baby came
aboard. There was vacant seat just
opposite mine, and the woman appro-
priated it.
A young man from Pittsburgh occu-
pied the seat directly in front of the
one taken by the new arrival, and he
kindly assisted her to place in the hat
rack such articles as that receptacle
would hold.
This little attention evidently made
the woman think she had claim on
the young man, for she soon leaned
forward and asked:
Coin far?"

man, craning his neck so as to face his
interlocutor.
I'm goin' there. too. I'm from

went on.

"King!" exclaimed the old lady.
Eyes, and I'm studying in this coun-
try to prepare myself to succeed him
on the throne"
The old woman looked him steadily
in the eye for minute, but the scamp
never flinched. She then asked:
"Ain't there cannibals in African"
Yes, indeed" replied the youthful
Munchausen.
Ever see any?"
"See any? Why Tn one myself ;"
And the wretch, distorting his features,
assumed such IA terrible look that the
woman from Siffin instinctively drew
back.

woman.

And he made dive for the baby in
the woman's arms, but she sprang
from her seat and flew shrieking to the
end of the car, while the Prince of
Timbuctoo went into the smoking car
to take puff at a Wheeling stogy.-
